I was worried it'd end up with someone who gave up on it when replacing the power supply didn't work (I'd bet my hat that the PSU is fine).Sorry can't help with postage Just make sure the CRT is packed well, I've had great luck getting them sent but the back plastic can be fragile if the courier had a few too many at lunch.

Fingers crossed. The worry is always if the seller ends up "can't be bothered".Let us know how you get on.

Anyway my guess on what you won there - 1986/1987 enhanced XT (640KB/20MB), which would've shipped (as far as I knew) with one or two half height floppy but someone has switched it in with a full height from an older XT. Just a guess though - keen to see if I'm right or not

My bet would be an old stock (at the time), early XT with an upgraded hard disk to get it to sell. This is NZ, after all. The Land of dumping old stock.

Not that it matters. I haven't really seen much serial number scrutiny of the IBM PC/XT in the way that surrounds early Apple II's, and even if there was, the XT is the II+ of the line. By that point, no-one is too worried about what serial or year it was.
